An Alien Truth

Once, i came to an alien truthOf life and love internallyOf peace and joy internallyThose things unseen But greatly felt; That quenched the thirstOf a craving soul

Once, i came to an alien truthOf death and hate internallyOf pains and grieves internallyThose things unseen But greatly felt; That starves the soulOf a gleeful cheer

Once, i came to an alien truthThat in times of loss and Increasing fears, When hopes are smashedAnd dreams are dashed; andGreat despair possessed the heart, The inward strength could mendThe soul of it's deepest woes!

But man would crave For wealth and fame, Externally; Those things we seeFor a little whileThat ensnare the soulWith vague desires!
